This is a wedding that we’ve been really excited to share with you! Our brides, Ashley and Spencer, were super fun to work with. White Ink was happy to be a part of this incredible day for such a lovely couple. Ashley and Spencer trusted White Ink’s ability to help create some fantastic pieces that fit beautifully into one of the dreamiest weddings we have ever seen.
I just have to jump right in and talk about this amazing seating chart that was filled with rows of rose-filled vases! White Ink produced the calligraphy for the escort cards attached to each vase. I could have looked at this display forever and ever and then a little more. What a charming way to lead your guests to their seats! Our brides brilliantly interlaced roses throughout the ceremony and reception. I think our favorite bundle was perhaps the CLOUD of roses that the wedding cake seemed to just float on top of! Just, gorgeous.
We were delighted that Ashely and Spencer chose to use items like the table numbers and card box from White Ink’s rental collection. The acrylic table numbers are a favorite of ours because they subtly do their job without taking away from the décor of the table. Our team also put together the menus that went perfectly along with the tablescapes adorning fine glasses, gold-trimmed plates and gently placed roses. The wooden welcome sign we did made the white calligraphy just pop. Of course, a garnish of roses only made it even more attractive. We love diving into all the details that help make a wedding stand out. This wedding certainly did not disappoint!
Everything seemed to fit together perfectly on this gorgeous day. We loved the way the brides’ dresses complimented each other so flawlessly. The bridesmaids were stunning in their rosy hues. The live band was on point and the conga line was the absolute cherry on top. Ashely and Spencer put together a wedding of their dreams and then filled it with roses and all the love that was shared between family and friends. What a special day to be a part of!
Hey everyone! We wanted to take the time to show you just a few things that our couples have been gushing over when it comes to calligraphy and stationery designs at their wedding! Leslie and Adam’s wedding is the perfect opportunity for White Ink to show you what we mean. We were delighted to be a part of so much for this event including: the invitations, programs, menus, seating chart display, welcome sign and tabletop signage. You name it, and White Ink was on it.
What’s the new craze in invitations? Navy envelopes! We don’t know exactly why navy hits the spot for so many of our couples, but we aren’t complaining. Look at how stunning Leslie and Adam’s crisp, white invites look against the dark hue. Not to mention, we got to use gold calligraphy on the envelopes that literally shine as the light moves across it. I seriously can’t stop smiling at these. These envelopes have a look that is strong and steady, exactly the kind of message many of our couples want to express.
Ok, let’s talk about how custom seating charts are on the rise. Leslie and Adam’s seating chart absolutely wins! Gold calligraphy written atop hand-torn paper, crowned with a custom wax seal, pinned against a towering hedge wall. Breathtaking! Seating charts have totally transformed as couples are using this particular detail to showcase their own unique styles. White Ink was born for this challenge. Over the past few years, we have been tasked with putting together custom seating charts and escort card displays that are truly showstopping. This is a fantastic way to make your guests feel like they’re a part of something singularly extraordinary.
White Ink has a really terrific rental collection that we love for our brides and grooms to check out. Some of which includes our most popular and trending pieces, like our card boxes! These charming little boxes are a great way to guide your guests to the gift table and show that every item given is treasured. Another White Ink rental favorite is our gold-framed, mirrored welcome sign which Leslie and Adam paired with their impressive seating chart display. This mirrored sign boldly fits into nearly any style of wedding our couples envision. Table signage, especially table numbers and bar signage, can really set your event apart. White Ink includes details that we adjust specifically to your style of wedding or event. This is exactly what we did for Leslie and Adam, as the gold accented table signs matched perfectly with the gold highlights of each tablescape.
What we’ve mentioned here, in the way of popular calligraphy and stationary pieces, is just the tip of the iceberg. There is a wide range of trending items that White Ink is happy to offer our clients. We love making showstopping moments happen for our couples and we honestly look forward to each and every one. Let’s keep these trends going because we just can’t get enough! Congrats to Leslie and Adam! Thank you for letting us be a part of it all.
I like to think that I have been exceptionally lucky in getting to see the most amazing details that this wedding town has to offer. From striking floral arrangements to grand venues, White Ink is constantly wowed by the visions that our couples and fellow creatives have pieced together. Just when you think you’ve seen all things wedding, a couple like Taylor and Jacob come along and remind you that there is so much more to see!
Once again, White Ink returns to the remarkable Saint Elle venue which is known for its distinct modern features. Taylor and Jacob used the beauty of this setting to incorporate their own expressive and romantic styles in one of the dreamiest boho style weddings we have ever seen. Take a look at these photos to see some of our favorite moments from the day. (Peep the triangular arbor!)
Seating charts are a wedding reception’s hidden gem. They offer simplicity in an otherwise high energy setting. Your guests don’t have to worry about having to pick a spot for themselves and can enjoy the transition from cocktail hour to dining. White Ink LOVES seating charts because, for a calligrapher, the choice of canvas is seemingly unlimited. Look at how incredible our couple’s seating chart display was! I mean, calligraphy on VINTAGE VASES! This display is honestly one of the most impressive things I’ve gotten to put my touch on. We still can’t get over how fun this project was!
Another item White Ink prepared for Taylor and Jacob was signage displaying the “Order of Events” and the “Wedding Party.” The idea of keeping your guests informed this way is a personal favorite of mine. Another, favorite for the White Ink team is the adorable “Cards” box that we have recently added to our expansive rental collections. We love getting to customize this small but mighty feature for our lovely couples.
Taylor and Jacob were not shy when it came to choosing expressive, modern, boho and delightfully wild colors and florals for their big day. We are grateful for every couple that we get to work with, especially the ones that open our eyes to a wedding like we’ve never seen before. And we just can’t wait for more.
Most people have been to at least a handful of weddings in their lifetime. Weddings are something we all have in common whether we’ve attended as the guest, as part of the bridal party or as the couple. I think you understand when I say, weddings carry energy, an energy that is specific to each couple. There are a million different ways to celebrate your big day and they are all incredibly unique and special. At White Ink, some of our favorite celebrations come from weddings like Rachel and Derek’s. The energy was higher that the moonlit sky and we will never forget it!
Our bride, Rachel, was so fun to work with. She is a wedding, lifestyle, and boudoir photographer here in Nashville and knows how to shine in front of the lens! She and Derek were the perfect, most easy-going couple who really let their personality take over the details of their gorgeous wedding. My team and I had SO much fun putting together their invites. The colors were beautiful alone, but guests were wowed with a stunning print of the famous Bouguereau painting, “The Birth of Venus” as the envelope liner. I mean, I need more showstopping moments like this.
White Ink was also honored with the task of creating the head-table acrylic place cards. Rachel and Derek included the acrylic table numbers from the White Ink rental collection that always fit so perfectly no matter the décor of the event. Here’s something you never knew you needed for you wedding reception; cake flavor signage! So brilliant. We created the cake flavor sign for Rachel and Derek’s cake table and it worked like a charm. Perhaps this is something you might include in your next celebration?
After the gorgeous ceremony, Rachel’s reception outfit-change let everyone know it was time to celebrate! Between the live music, cascading florals, and breathtaking lighting, the energy of this wedding was always moving. A wedding that moved is the only way to describe it. And as the night moved, time stood still. Our memories from this day will be as sweet as champagne. Cheers!
The details that Lucy and Gary included in their BIG DAY were game changers. I’m sitting here looking through their photo gallery, and there are just SO MANY amazing photos. First, Lucy’s dress. I can’t. Second, Gary and his mom had an epic dance (so it appears, just looking through the photos)! The couple was married at the classic Union Station Hotel in downtown Nashville. Their ceremony and reception were both held in the hotel lobby, which is a stunner. So anyway, I’m here to share the details. It’s the bridesmaids’ duties to share their super cute images of their black floor length bridesmaid gowns; and family to share the sweet images of the flower girls. For me, I’m sharing the details that my future brides want to see!
This invitation suite was created using my spot calligraphy. Every line was hand lettered by ME, and then digitally reprinted. Spot calligraphy is always close to my heart – it ensures that the calligraphy on your invitation and envelopes MATCH; as well as the rest of the calligraphy used throughout! The emerald green envelope brings a modern touch to a very classic suite. Interested in Vintage Postage? The Little Postage House is my favorite source!
The wedding was planned by Erin Lynn Events, a wedding planner who lives in Nashville, but plans all over the country. I had the opportunity to drop by the setup for this event and see Erin in action!
FLORALS. Can we just take these florals in? Like let’s sit here and process them. Because they were stunners. Florals were done by Mary Love with Rosemary & Finch . Her work on the fireplace, come on. Also, Mary made sure that we popped some greenery on the welcome sign (something that is often overlooked when planning)!
John Myers Photography is the team behind the lens in these photos. I had the opportunity to pop in and say hi to Lucy when she was taking her portraits. This was actually my first time meeting John in person (AND Lucy for that matter!), we’ve been Instagram besties for awhile now.
Guests were welcomed at the entry of the lobby with a mirrored welcome sign. After the ceremony, guests grabbed their escort cards, which were done in gold calligraphy on ivory tented card stock. And the tables were dressed with my table number rentals.
The spot calligraphy used on the invitation suite was carried over to the wedding program.
A huge thank you to Lucy for being a part of the #whiteinkjacket movement! Not sure what this is all about. Be sure to CLICK HERE to read all about it. This project is so close to my heart! And Gary, stop being so precious 🙂
Lucy and Gary’s big day was the dreamiest. Classic and elegant with Nashville style. It’s always a pleasure to be a part of such a lovely event. xo – Claire
